Lambert, medical inspector of the Rockefeller Foun dation, who returned to New Zealand re cently by the “Maui Pomare” after spending a month on Niue Island carrying out medical survey work.

The Niue natives were and con tented, and were adjusting themselves rapidly to modem conditions. This was all the more surprising in view of the little contact made with European people.

Sergeant-Major Isikeli Vulavou, of the Fiji Constabulary, has been awarded the Colonial Police Long Service Medal, with two bars.
